What We Do: Die Cutting Services

We keep die cutting simple, dependable, and Made in USA. Send a pattern, sketch, or sample and we’ll cut clean, accurate parts so your production can move forward without delays. Whether you need a handful of pieces for a pilot run or steady releases for an ongoing program, our die cutting process is built for practical turnarounds and consistent results.

Most projects start with a quick review of your material and shape. If you already have a tracing or dieline, great—if not, we can create a basic cutting outline from your sample. We focus on common soft-goods materials—leather, fabric, felt, foam, coated textiles—and keep communication clear so you always know what’s happening and when die-cut parts will ship.

Repeatability is important to our customers, so we document the basics: material, thickness, grain or weave direction, and orientation for mirrored pairs or sets. We label cartons clearly, bundle die-cut parts in a sensible way, and, when requested, group pieces by size or color to make downstream work faster. If your next step is stitching or assembly, we can bundle parts into small kits to save touches on your line.

Getting a quote is straightforward: share quantity goals (a single batch, periodic or replenishment), your target date, and any features you want added—like small holes, alignment notches or something else. We’ll respond with next steps and a practical die cutting timeline from our Lewiston, Maine facility.
